IMPROVEMENT lN SPITTOONS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 218,232, dated August5, 1879; application filed May 21, 1879.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. CLIMEN- SON, of St. Clair, in the countyof Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Spittoons; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in spittoons.

The object in view is to form a spittoon which, when overturned, willnot discharge its contents upon the floor, and also to provide a meansfor readily emptying the same.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a spittoon. Fig. 2 is asection taken on a vertical plane through the center of the same, and onthe line or m, Fig. 3. The said Fig. 3 is aplan view of the under sideof the same.

Let A represent the base; B, the lower section of the body, and G theupper part, which has the conical part E fitted thereto. This part orreceiver E is intended to receive whatever may be thrown into thespittoon, and then discharge the same through opening 9, as usual. Ithas a flange, h, so that when the spittoon is overturned, the contentswhich will flow into the space i will be the more effectually retainedtherein.

K is a screw-cap, which can be removed when it is desired to unscrew thesame and cleanse the spittoon. This can is screwed over a short tubularpart, l, as shown in Fig. 2, and this tube or cylinder constitutesthelower receptacle for fluids or cigars which may be thrown into thespittoon.

Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim is- 1. A spittooncomprisin gthe base A, sections B and C, and the conical orfunnel-shaped part E, as shown and described.

2. In combination with a spittoon, the screwcap K, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.

WM. W. OLIMENSON.
